Hello Leslie girl !Thank you so much ... but my leaves will turn brown and curled eventually.I have to do a clean up in the back garden Friday/Saturday ... so it won't be so much work in Spring. I feel better when I put the garden to bed properly ? LOL

Tina girl hello there : )You are too sweet ! Thank you !I think you have my email about that now : )Fall is my favorite time of year but this past October has been rather retched with bad weather .. it whizzed by without me enjoying it much .. Halloween whizzed by on a broom too! haha .. Yes this year is just about over and on to the next one!

Diana girl I am always so glad to read some one else is a fan of October and it's leaves : )This Boston fern is one crazy dude hanging in till the BIG frost which will come soon. It is late here as well ... bundle up it is coming !

You're right, you should definitely wait to clean up those lovely leaves. I especially like to kick through the sweetgum leaves, because they are amazingly colorful. I really need to get one of my own!
